Key User Insights
	Bitly	Rebrandly
Considered Both Products	Bitly Verified User Chose Bitly Bitly is the most fully featured and intuitive of the (albeit limited) options we have evaluated. Bitly is also the link shortener that our staff and our user base have had the most interaction with, so it was the choice with the least friction/switching costs up front. In this … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Bitly Bitly is easy to use and budget-friendly. Bitly is also specifically error-free. Being a responsible brand, we have to choose a trusted brand in which this service comes true. It is easily used by even less experienced team members and saves time. The advanced analytics feature … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Bitly I didn’t use rebrand my for long. Possibly because the UX wasn’t as clean as bitly. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Bitly Bitly is a better product overall however it does cost more. Incentivized Helpful?	Rebrandly Nicolas ROUSSEL Founder of I and YOO and Inbound marketing an Communication agency in Marketing at IandYOO inbound marketing et communication (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Rebrandly Rebrandly alllows custom domain names for free, which is not the case of Bitly. Incentivized Helpful? Josh Bender Managing Editor in Marketing at Travel With Bender (Leisure, Travel & Tourism, 1-10 employees) Chose Rebrandly Rebrandly is definitely aimed at the professional end of the market. Bitly has been around for a long time, but also overused and abused by bad actors. This can negatively influence a backlink profile in terms of organic search which an SEO professional simply can not afford. … Incentivized Helpful? Dustin W. Stout Founder in Marketing at Dustn.co (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose Rebrandly Setting up a branded URL through Bitly was way too complicated. Additionally, the limitation on the number of links created per month was too restrictive. Bitly does allow UTM tracking to be added, but not as dynamically as Rebrandly. Bitly also doesn't have the pixel adding … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Rebrandly Bitly has a somewhat shorter domain name, but it is more commonly used so it is difficult to find short paths when using it. Incentivized Helpful? Renato Ruas Pinto Consultant in Corporate at Rectaprese - Apresentações Eficientes (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Rebrandly Besides Bitly, I have tried also BL.INK. They do pretty much the same, but Rebrandly, as I have mentioned before, allows you to change the final URL once the shortened one is created. The other ones only have this feature in paid plans. Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Attard Marketing Coordinator / Digital Marketing Specialist at This Is Where It's ATT Events (Entertainment, 1-10 employees) Chose Rebrandly I have used Bitly before but find it does not have enough detail like Rebrandly. Shows more information that i useful and has a better user interface. Overall, Rebrandly is better for the purpose of our needs. Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Chose Rebrandly Rebrandly allows you to link to your domain or subdomain and that's one of the best advantages - doesn't let your brand value dilute over ugly looking or painful long links. Others don't allow connecting your own domain. Customers are hesitant in clicking the links that don't … Incentivized Helpful? Dácio Appolinario Blog Manager in Marketing at BHub.ai (Accounting, 51-200 employees) Chose Rebrandly Rebrandly is not expensive and unites different features on the same solution. Other solutions (used before) didn't put all the features together. Very bad. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Rebrandly I think Rebrandly is a better product for the cost and value Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Rebrandly Rebrandly has more features, especially the ability to edit links after the fact. Other link shorteners are good, but Rebrandly is more fully-featured. Rebrandly basically starts where other link shorteners end. Integrated QR code creation is a differentiator. Analytics are … Incentivized Helpful? Mark Dixie Server engineer in Information Technology at Vapourized Technologies (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Rebrandly Rebrandly has more options to customise, as well as better statistics, than competitors. Incentivized Helpful? Marty Lofberg Ministry Pastor at Coast Evangelical Church (Religious Institutions, 1-10 employees) Chose Rebrandly When I last used bit.ly you had no way to edit a shortened URL. That sent me on a search, and that's how I discovered rebrand.ly! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Rebrandly Easier use of keyword specific URLs. The platform is designed so that specific keywords are more easily incorporated into the domain. Other URL shortening services, we find, are not as easy to navigate in this regard.
